On this week’s “Inside Washington,” the panel was asked to predict who the 2012 GOP Presidential Ticket will be. Interestingly, four of the five – starting with Charles Krauthammer – said “Mitt Romney/Marco Rubio.” Mark Shields predicted “Mitt Romney and Rob Portman of Ohio.”

We’re just three days away from the Iowa Caucuses on January 3, 2012. Who do you think is going to win? Please look in the right sidebar of the site and vote.

I’m sure it’s useless to say this, but I will anyway! We’d like you to vote for the candidate you really believe WILL win, not the candidate you want to win. Of course, they may be one and the same. We’ll see what kind of results we come up with by Tuesday. Thanks for participating!

Here’s a new Rick Santorum ad that is airing in Iowa this weekend, and will air in New Hampshire next week. The ad focuses on Santorum’s credentials as the GOP Candidate with the “best chance” to defeat Barack Obama. The ad calls Santorum a “trusted conservative,” with a “Made in the USA” jobs plan, and “more Foreign Policy experience” than any of the other candidates.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is intervening to try and make sure all major GOP Presidential Candidates will appear on the state’s Presidential Primary Ballot. Only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul have qualified for the ballot under Virginia’s laborious process. Virginia’s Primary is scheduled for “Super Tuesday,” March 6, 2012:

FOX NEWS: Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is intervening in the Virginia presidential primary dispute and plans to file emergency legislation to address the inability of most Republican presidential candidates to get their name on the ballot, Fox News has learned.

Only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul qualified for the Virginia primary, a contest with 49 delegates up for grabs.

The failure of other candidates to qualify — notably Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry — led to complaints that the 10,000-signature requirement is too stringent.

Cuccinelli, who is a Republican, shared the concerns.

“Recent events have underscored that our system is deficient,” he said in a statement. “Virginia owes her citizens a better process. We can do it in time for the March primary if we resolve to do so quickly.”

Cuccinelli’s proposal is expected to state that if the Virginia Board of Elections certifies that a candidate is receiving federal matching funds, or has qualified to receive them, that candidate will upon request be automatically added to the ballot. . . . Read More

Here is video of Texas Gov. Rick Perry saying he is feeling “pretty good” about his chances in Tuesday’s Iowa Caucuses. He has been making steady gains in the polls in recent days, putting him within striking distance of finishing in the top three.

UPDATE (Via Allahpundit):Here’s a nice rundown on the historical accuracy of the final Des Moines Register Poll before the Caucuses. As you see, they have gotten the winner right in both parties in 2000, 2004, and 2008.

Here is video of Texas Gov. Rick Perry on the campaign trail where he took what he called a “gotcha” question, and used it to hammer big Government and excessive spending. The question was about “Lawrence v. Texas,” a Supreme Court case where the court struck down anti-sodomy laws in Texas. Perry was not about to get drawn into a debate about the subject, but stayed on topic with his answer.

Here is video of a new web ad for Rick Perry, continuing his call for creating a “part-time Congress,” cutting their pay and “sending them home.” The ad presents Perry as a “fiscal conservative” who can bring real change to Washington.

Here is video of a RevolutionPAC ad supporting Rep. Ron Paul that focuses on defending him against the attacks that have come his way because of the newsletters published under his name back in the 1990’s. A number of racist statments appeared in the newletters, which Paul says he did not write and did not know about. Dr. Paul has repudiated the statements.

The ad tells the story of a black man whose wife needed care many years ago, but was being ignored, he says, because he was black and his wife was white. But Dr. Ron Paul “come to my rescue.” A very touching ad.

Here is video of a new ad supporting Jon Huntsman by “Our Destiny PAC.” The ad is running in New Hampshire, and it is direct attack on Mitt Romney, calling him “the Chameleon.” The ad says only “two serious candidates remain” – Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman – and then closes by saying “one state can stop the Chameleon.” Huntsman has staked his entire campaign on New Hampshire. He predicted victory there several months ago, but now says he has to “outperform market expectations” – whatever that means.
